How do I know when the lava cake is done?

The edges should be set and the center should still jiggle when you shake the ramekin. 10-12 minutes at 425°F is the sweet spot, but ovens vary — start checking at 10 minutes.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare the batter and fill the ramekins, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 2-3 minutes to baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I use a muffin tin instead of ramekins?

Yes, a standard muffin tin works well. Use silicone muffin cups or grease thoroughly. Reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes as muffin cups are shallower.
